On matchday 8 in the Allianz Frauen-Bundesliga, the Lady-Wolves secured a narrow 1-0 (1-0) victory over 1. FFC Frankfurt. The ultimately golden-goal on the day was scored early in the tie by Pernille Harder (12'). The Green-Whites put on a convincing display over the duration and had a number of chances on goal, whilst never looking in any trouble in defence. This coming Wednesday, November 15th (kick-off 18:00 CET), the Lady-Wolves take on AC Fiorentina in the return-leg of the UEFA Women´s Champions League 'Round of 16' tie. On Sunday, November 19th (kick-off 15:00 CET), coach Stephen Lerch’s side return to league action away to SGS Essen.

"Pay a compliment"

VfL coach Stephan Lerch: "We struggled to get into the game at the beginning. We knew Frankfurt would attack us high up the park and that we wouldn’t have much time to find a footballing solution. After the goal, we took ever more control of the game and combined our way through on a number of occasions. We allowed very little through and, with that in mind, I must pay my team a compliment. It was good to see my side amount so much pressure against as good a team as Frankfurt. In the second-half, the condition of the pitch continued to deteriorate and things remained tense, as we failed to get that second goal."
